Maven Build modl Issues

Working with the Ignition SDK. I am admittedly not very experienced with Java or Maven build processes so issue I am running into is likely my lack of knowledge.

I have defined a client class for a device driver that I would like to implement within Ignition. My client class works as expected when I test through my terminal. I have implemented the ModuleHook and ManagedDevice interfaces as well as the DeviceType following the example:

I am trying to execute the mvn package step to create the .modl file. The packages will build and compile but when trying to package the modl i get the following error (i will put the full stack trace in the following comment):
Cannot invoke "java.util.List.iterator()" because the return value of "org.apache.maven.project.MavenProject.getCollectedProjects()" is null.

My project is structure as:
Device -
.\Device-build
..\pom.xml (this pom is where the modl goal is defined)
.\Device-device
..\pom.xml
.\pom.xml

Full stack trace:

automation.ignitionsdk:ignition-maven-plugin:1.1.0:modl failed: Cannot invoke "java.util.List.iterator()" because the return value of "org.apache.maven.project.MavenProject.getCollectedProjects()" is null -> [Help 1]

I think you'll need to share the pom.xml contents from your build module.

Admittedly its mostly just a copy paste rename things from the example.

Hmm, looks okay.

What directory are you executing mvn package from? Should be the root.

that was the issue I was trying to package the MacNetDevice-build module directly. as I suspected my lack of understanding. Thank you for the quick responses!
